Cod4 - its not fair

Hahaha, ace.

I would imagine that the PS3 could have it - iirc that console has 'official' dedicated servers, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be a huge deal to upload it to them and have it locally cached?

Scort.

Trouble is it will probably be easter by the time they upload it to PSN. :p

Can't see 360 getting it MS would want to slap a price tag on it...

EDIT: should have read your post properly. :p

To my knowledge both the 360 and ps3 versions use dedicated servers. (I don't 100% understand how matchmaking is done but any game with matchmaking uses hosted servers i.e. Halo 2/3 and COD4). Although I see what you mean as I played some UT3 yesterday on PS3, and joined a map and it downloaded some "stuff" (it downloaded so fast I could not see the titles of the items).

Peer 2 Peer hosting.

Really? (Even Halo 3? I ain't played it enough online, but someone told me mathcmaking games are done on hosted servers, and I just accepted it as fact).

So are you saying for COD4 the 360 is using p2p (as it does for most games) and ps3 is using hosted servers (as it does for most games). And there is just some servers in between that do the matchmaking?

I know a lot about p2p and hosted servers, but this matchmaking thing is new to me (and up until COD4 I had not seen a matchmaking game on ps3 and only had experience of Halo 3 for 360 matchmaking, unless there is other games I may have played without realising it).

You should always buy games like this on the PC... IF your PC is up to the job.

Last year I would have wholeheartedly agreed with you on this, but now, not so much.

The key word in your post DanMc07 is "IF your PC is up to the job", and I would imagine that would mean 300+ pounds in upgrades - roughly.

I know this is an argument that has been banded around for ages, but I'm not using it as an argumentative point, but I'd rather spend that money on a single unit, i.e. a 360 or PS3, then go and buy a top end graphics card or a mixture of mid-range kit.

From my PC gaming days I would defend FPS on k/b and mouse, as the ONLY way to play, but having spent the best part of 2007 gaming on 360 and the last month or so with PS3, I no longer see joypads as useless at such games; in fact, I would go as far as saying it is just as natural (to me).

PS3 CoD4 doesn't use hosted servers either from what I can tell, if the host leaves the game, the game disappears.

I think the only game's on PS3 with proper dedicated servers are WarHawk, R:FOM and UT3, correct me if I'm wrong but everything else is P2P.
